An amateur photographer who believes she captured a U.S. servicemember during a successful wedding proposal at a Washington D.C. war memorial is now trying to find the mystery couple and share the touching photographs.

The romantic images were captured the evening of July 2 inside the War Memorial pavilion and show a man wearing what is likely a U.S. Air Force uniform beside a woman in a black and white dress.

“He kissed her and her entire body went limp,” wrote photographer Angila Golik on her YouTube video where she published the photos.”It was a moment of pure beauty and I could feel the love.”
